About the Foundation

For more than 40 years, the Pike Place Market Foundation has served the people of the Market through our mission to nurture a thriving Market community where all can live their best possible lives.

The Impact You’ll Make

This is a senior leadership role for an experienced fundraiser with a proven track record in building sustained philanthropic partnerships that deliver critical resources to accelerate an organizational mission. You will shape strategy, manage and develop a team, carry your own major donor portfolio and relationships, and drive results. The Director of Development leads the Foundation’s entire Development function and serves as a key member of the leadership team.

You are joining at a pivotal moment. The Foundation just closed its strongest year of impact to date and is defining its next chapter. You’ll build on that strength, securing resources to meet the expanding needs of those we serve. This role requires a strategic leader who can integrate with speed and be operational from day one.

The Foundation offers much to build from – a new Executive Director with deep philanthropic connections and a strategic, data-driven mindset; an engaged group of committed donors; a talented team, a dedicated Board with real fundraising capacity; and an active major campaign underway to support farmers following the 2025 floods. The Development team is deeply committed to our mission and work and has recently undergone a significant transition. This moment presents an opportunity to add strength and resources in service of our mission

If you are driven by positive impact, excel at building sustained, strategic relationships and securing resources, love building a high-performing team, and thrive with real authority and partnership, this is the role for you.
